NCC10281982B Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 I'm here at school and the system I'm on, according to CPU-Z has a pentiumD 915. Thing is both CPU-z and task manager say this proc has one core. what the? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Not sure but a pent. D is a dual core 2.8Ghz I have one of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow47 Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 My guess is for one reason or another their configuration of windows doesn't support dual core cpus. If I remember correctly, some people had to download a special windows patch to enable dual core on their machines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 yeah, xp was being stupid. server 2k3 reads both cores. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat97 Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Is this what that whole " Windows 2000 Professional, 1-2 CPU " or " Windows XP Professional, 1-2 CPU " means? Two processors, or in this case, two cores? So... a quad needs windows, 1-4 CPU? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 ACPI Uniprocessor PC vs ACPI Multiprocessor PC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_of_java Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 What hardnrg said...check under device manager===>processors...see which one of the two he mentioned is listed there....uni means that the drivers for a single core are installed...and multi means dual core.
